Always professional and accommodating, I wholeheartedly welcome any opportunity where Michael would be involved in showing the insight, guidance, and value a relationship can provide.

He is one of the few analysts I would classify as a "poster-child" for how analysts should conduct themselves in interactions with sales people, prospects, and clients."
Paul Sop, Founder, Chief Technology Officer, Intellitactics
"Michael Rasmussen is a terrific analyst. The best compliment I can give is that whenever I've listened to him I've made money (not just a little). I really can't say that's been the norm in my industry experience :) He has great strategic listening, deductive, and inductive skills. Debriefing with Michael has always been productive, and his assessments accurate. How I wish he was covering other focus areas that are more relevant to what I'm working on now :)"
